95 days with Bright Lines

Bootcamp is (sort of) over. The 8 weeks stretched into 10. Thank you Susan for the bonus! I declined to join Bright Lifers which is the next phase as I just don’t have the annual fee right now and I am too Jewish to pay double for the monthly rate. Can’t do it!! LOL

I am living in the moment a lot more. Not all the time, but baby steps. I learned how to meditate. Got better at gratitude.

Learning to not isolate myself and eat. And now I have four new friends – real friends even if we haven’t met – yet! And a dozen people who will jump in at any time of the day or night to give me advice, answer questions or just offer love and support.

I know how to move through hunger – it really isn’t an emergency. All of me knows that now, not just my left brain.

I am looking forward to my next 8 week goal which is to start all over again but going vegan. No sugar. No flour. No dairy. No meat.

I’ve never been able to sustain a vegan lifestyle for more than a few weeks. Now I suspect it is due to the sugar and flour I was consuming.

I will be adding in some whole grains, such as oats and quinoa and rice and will include some BLE friendly cereal and gasp! Ezekiel bread a couple of times a week.

I need to lose at least another 38 pounds, ideal charts suggest I should lose another 82. That’s a long road – maybe 49 weeks, maybe 82, maybe 160 – who knows?

For today, no sugar, no flour, no meat, no dairy and a whole world of yes! Yes to meditating. Yes to listening to music. Yes to reading good books. Yes to writing. Yes to afternoon naps and bunny slippers. Yes to time with my family. Yes to time with friends. Yes to traveling. Yes to learning and growing. Yes.

50-something mom, wanna be writer and adventurer trying to figure out my 40+ year battle with food and eating. I’ve done every diet and even had gastric bypass – still gained it back. In 2016 I joined Overeaters Anonymous and for the first time in my life, I am peaceful about food. In November 2017 I learned about Bright Line Eating and am having success with weight loss once again.
